• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Yes, a mother’s milk is best. Even Sen. Orengo knows this because he is a father of many! view
• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of wrong priorities is so painful that in Kakamega, where we do not have a shortage of land for the former municipal or county council; in fact, we have too much land. In Shikusa alone, we have 2,000 acres that is being used by prisons to feed all prisoners in Kenya. if the Governor can go ahead and allocate Kshs150 million for buying land so as to construct the county headquarters when we already have the former Provincial Commissioner’s (PCs) premises that he can only move in tomorrow morning and occupy; he can go to ... view

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, the issue being raised by Sen. (Dr.) Machage is very sensitive. We are told that in the morning, when the House was unable to realise a quorum, such a document was circulated, that hon. Senators sign. Under which Standing Order was that made? This Assembly has employed members of staff who clock us in and out. What has become of that responsibility? If there was such a change, why was it not communicated to us formally? view

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Murkomen. Now that he has clarified that it was the media that I was referring to, can you now table in this House the signed statement by the President as pertains to this matter because it is causing a lot of anxiety among Kenyans and among county governments? By the way, even doctors and nurses have already approached the Senate because they are contesting the issue of their Kshs38 billion in form of emoluments being channeled to the county governments. Can you table that here? view
